[PATCH] PCI/sysfs: hide boot_display definition when VIDEO=n

From: Randy Dunlap
Date: Mon Jul 21 2025 - 17:02:59 EST


When CONFIG_VIDEO is not set, defining the 'boot_display' attribute
causes build errors/warnings, so hide the declaration as is done with
other code that uses this variable. Bracket unused code inside
#ifdef CONFIG_VIDEO/#endif to prevent other build warnings/errors.

include/linux/device.h:199:33: warning: 'dev_attr_boot_display' defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]
199 | struct device_attribute dev_attr_##_name = __ATTR_RO(_name)
drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c:688:8: note: in expansion of macro 'DEVICE_ATTR_RO'
688 | static DEVICE_ATTR_RO(boot_display);

drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c:683:16: warning: ‘boot_display_show’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
683 | static ssize_t boot_display_show(struct device *dev,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also, a question:
What does this do in pci-sysfs.c?
#ifndef ARCH_PCI_DEV_GROUPS
#define ARCH_PCI_DEV_GROUPS
#endif
Is there some hidden macro (probably using string concatenation)
that uses this define value? Thanks.
